Vitamin D

[Gingersnaps]

Hi,
Anyone taking this and if so have you noticed any physical changes/mood or such?
I began around January but am only now just getting regular with it. I bought at first vitamin D 3 as heard that was best for fertility but the last time I was jet lagged and bought regular. Trying now to take 1,000 to 2,000 per day as summer is ending and I live in a northern latitude.
I heard low Vit D can cause issues with fertility. I have not been checked but I have recently diagnosed celiac, so odds are I am probably low.

I've taken vitamin D throughout the winter for the last couple of years, and it has really improved my immune system. I used to have colds ALL the time, but after I started taking vitamin D it got a lot better.

I never took a blood test, but two friends of mine have been diagnosed with very low vitamin D levels. Both were always tired and had concentration problems, and it got very much better when they started taking vitamin D.

I've also read that vitamin D deficiency may be partly responsible for insulin resistance and obesity.

I don't know about its impact on fertility, but being so important for general health and well-being I would definitely make sure to treat any deficiency. Who know, maybe that's what it takes?

I broke out in hives november 2010. It wouldn't go away and was so serious after 2 days i wound up with a high fever had to take terrible wicked steroids to help get rid of them. I stayed on Reactin until Sept 2011 when I got in to an allergy specialist. He wrote on my arm and told me I had dermagraphitism. He sent me for a d vit test...I was super low. Now I take at least 4000 units everyday by liquid as it's more absorbable.
You can't lose out by taking it, it prevents cancer, depression and a whole bunch of other things. My skin issues went away (that's the best part).

Thanks for posting about vitamin D. I had no idea that it might be a factor in insulin resistance and Obesity. I have insulin resistance and but not really overweight however my Fertility specialist has just ordered a vitamin D test.
So it will be interesting to see if it's low or not.
Thank you.

I conceived when I was likely very low on D. I don't think it affects fertility that much.
